The security guards checked every corner of the grand building with fast movements.
Guests whispered among themselves while standing near the edges of the big ballroom.
Mr. Moretti carried his small son Ethan to a comfortable chair near the main wall.
Ethan: Daddy, why did that lady's baby break my big cake?
Mr. Moretti: She is a hero, Ethan, and she saved you today.
The father walked back over to Clara and knelt down on the marble floor.
Mr. Moretti: Clara, you and your child will never have to worry again.
Clara: I am just glad your little boy is safe and sound, sir.
The head security officer walked up quickly with a grim look on his face.
Guard: Sir, we found a side door pushed open in the back kitchen corridor.
Mr. Moretti: Did you catch the person who did this evil deed?
Guard: The intruder dropped a black leather wallet near the outer iron gate.
The guard handed a small leather item wrapped in a clear plastic bag over.
Mr. Moretti opened the wallet and saw an official company identification card inside.
His eyes widened in shock as he recognized the face on the plastic card.
Mr. Moretti: This belongs to my stepbrother Julian from the corporate office!
The crowd gasped as the shocking truth began to spread across the room.
Julian was next in line to inherit the massive family trust fund estate.
If Ethan was out of the way, millions of dollars would go to him.
Clara: That is terrible, how could family treat a child so cruelly?
Mr. Moretti: Greed turns bad people into monsters, my dear friend.
He looked down at his phone and dialed the local police department immediately.
Mr. Moretti: We need squad cars at the estate right away to arrest a suspect.
He looked at Lily and felt a deep gratitude that words could barely express.
